A short Zoning & Franchises subcommittee vote with one real fight inside it. The 541-545 Bay Street rezoning on Staten Island's North Shore (~81 apartments, ground-floor retail; C4-2 commercial to residential) advanced 'with modifications' , and the modification mattered: dropping MIH Option 4, the 'workforce' tier. District 49's own Kamillah Hanks backed eliminating it, arguing Option 2 at 80% AMI serves working families while Option 4 would produce rents higher than market. Chair Kevin Riley gaveled it through to the full Land Use Committee.
